A Man With a Good Conscience.

Atoneoc his Northiield meetings on
Monday, Mr.. Moody, who was preach
ing about "Prayer," said: "Man may
pray like saint, but if he has a dollar
in his pocket not acquired honestly,
his prayer is sham, and he must
make restitution if he expects ever to
have God hear his prayer" Thereup-
on a merchant from Dallas, Tex, rose
i'm the audience and told a story, that
emphasized this point. He had, he
said, got dishonesty from men in his
business some 800, and had built a
house with the money. Then Mr:
Moody happened along and preached
on this subject of restitution and the
merchant was present. II heard you" i"
he said, pointing to Mr.. Moody, land
went out into the street conscience
stricken. I went straight home and
told my wife that we must sell that
house and restore emoney. And we
did. We held an . action, and our car
pets, our laces, our furniture all left us,
and with the proceeds we made resti-
tuition" The man then told how he
and his wife started again in life with
nothing, and how they had prospered.
His credit, his prosperity had never
been so good.-NeD York Stn.

Doing its Best.
BY GEORGE COOPER.

! am but tiny cricket.
Living in n summer thicket,
There take my rest.
Many songs are gayer, proudcr,
Many a voice Is Swccter, LOUDER
But l do my best!
In my song there's no complaining,
Even when the sky Is raining;
Birds fly cast and vest
Silent hide in lcafy covert;
But chirp till all is over,
Doing still my best.
When the leaves arc around us flying,
When the birds and hceS are hying
o. On their autuun quest,
You will find me in the Stubble,
Though the clouds look full of trouble,
Singing still my best!
clad in garments dark and sober,
Here linger till October:
Sunshine warns my breast:
While the wintry days YOU number,
sweet and quiet is my slumber,
For I've done my best!

Wool Stuffed
Horse Collars,

rTNHE latest and best invention in the COL.
i LAR TRADE.
These Collars are stuffed in the usual man-
ner; that Is TO say, the face part of the collar
which comes in contact with the shoulders of
the animal has two thick nesses Of material,
with a space between them.
The invention consists in using and apply
ing for one of these plies or thickncsSes q Tan
ned Skin with the natural wool adhering to it,
and arranging the same so that the wool side
shall occupy the space between the said two
thicknesses. It will thus be seen that the
space between the double facing is packed 70
padded with the wool which adhereS natural
~ to the skin. This has the advantage over
other stuffing heretofore used, In that the
wool cannot shift from its position or get into
punches.
Before making any further purchases 1t
would be wise and profitable to examine the
merits of these Collars.
We have the exclusive sale of these excel
lent Collars w JOEL SMITH son.
